Exploring a bucket list of options
Abundance of fall
Fall seems to come at us from nowhere, embracing us with color and sensations. The harvest season marks a half way count in our calendar before the winter months descend. As the leaves change color, we become hyper aware of the symbolism of fall. The season replete with an abundance of the harvest cornucopia. Its’ pulsating rhythm encompassing nature’s abundance to be seen in the bustling markets and overloaded kitchen tables where everyone gathers to give Thanks. Autumn is synonymous with plenty and the season to pause between the hectic summer months and the chill of winter to enunciate our gratitude. Today, as with ancient civilizations, Life cycles alter with the seasons, finding a rhythm that is integral to human civilization
Letting Go & Balancing
Gleaning lessons from nature, it is the time to slow down, reflect and re-evaluate. Balance and nurture ourselves and like the leaves from the tree try letting go. To remain strong and rooted in the ground, while we focus on the type of type of person we want to be at work, at home and in our relationships. As we engage in these transitional shifts let the season guide us with its bright foliage, crisp breeze, earthy tones and glorious tones.
